Ben Shapiro is vilified not for being Jewish but for being Conservative. And he is not racist, either.
And why should he be vilified for being Jewish?
He shouldnt. Should I be called out for being white? Privileged? "little"? We all are privileged if either we or our parents work hard and hustle.

Stop generalizing. You throw the R word anywhere and everywhere it will stick, but then that's the behavior of much of the Left.

Re: You seem to have a chip on your shoulder.
Everyone can be racist. Everyone has racist tendencies. Most of us try to deal with it and change to evidence based views of people. People like you and Shapiro like to shout them out and deny any rational evidence based view of people that are different.
If you want people to stop calling you a racist, quit posting racist comments.

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Stop generalizing.
He wasn't generalizing. He was specifically calling Shapiro a racist.
In fact it is YOU who are generalizing when you continue that with:

Forgiveness
I think I need help. How am I ever going to forgive people who vote Republican, considering how foul and disgusting the GOP has been for most of my life and especially now. I want to see Rupert Murdoch mowed down by machine guns live on national TV for his criminal lying. I want all Republican politicians to come to death by some painful disease. They all deserve to die for their vicious, sadistic goals.
How can I forgive myself for voting for Frank Sargent over Mike Dukakis as Massachusetts Governor, the only Republican I've ever voted for? How about voting for Eldridge Cleaver over Hubert Humphrey which may have contributed to the foul Nixon setting the country back 40 years?
Forgiveness appears beyond my reach. Peace and love seem even further away than ever.......

Re: Forgiveness
Lets take ...oh the last 4 Republican presidents. Lets see..Trump,George W.Bush,HW Bush (were he still alive) and Reagan (were HE still alive).
Would you strafe all of them with a machine gun?

Re: Forgiveness

I think their behavior is unforgivable. I have disowned 4 cousins and their mother and jettisoned several former friends because of their disgusting racist, anti-human, anti-civilization political/religious ideologies. Fuck them! I don't want to associate with them or listen to their hateful crap, because they make me want to punch them right in the face and it angers me that they can cause those kinds of feelings in me.

if i could hold and aim it, and the live TV was on and it was okay with the TV producers, then, yeah ... sometimes I just want to do that.

ooo good one.
i've had in mind a tow truck with each one tied up in a straight jacket, bound tightly except for their head and suspended by their feet with the cable loosened down to just where their head would hit the pavement and slowly drag them around the block over and over, keeping them alive as long as possible.
didn't Saddamn Hussein have some equipment that was even nastier?

The worst punishment would be to give them their own country (say a few states in the southeast) and enact their policies in their new country.

Re: Forgiveness
like i said at the top of this thread, can i find forgiveness??
you see, Phat, this is why some of us roll our eyes at some of your "both-siderisms". and why some of us are embarrassed to have you admit that you vote Democratic, which we perceive as almost by a lucky accident.
sorry if this offends, i have even given your posts a couple cheers over the years.

But wouldn't that deprive the rest of us a chance to form a cheering crowd lining the streets?

Well...I can understand you a bit better. You are not simply a Democrat. You are an Anti-Republican. If you were a Congressman or a Senator representing your political party (I'm assuming that you are a rather far left Democrat) you would *never* vote for anything that any Republican proposed. Am I right?
